Christine Pan, MD, FACOG, FPMRS, a board-certified urogynecologist, has joined Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital to expand the hospital’s services in women’s urology and gynecologic care.

 

Pan received her medical degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences School of Medicine in Lubbock, Texas. She then completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Texas in Houston, and a fellowship in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at Indiana University in Indianapolis. She is a member of the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

 

“I enjoy working with my patients to help improve their health and quality of life by providing customized care for each woman I see,” said Pan. “I want my patients to trust me and feel comfortable seeking the care they need for these issues, which can so often go untreated due to embarrassment and miseducation.”

 

Pan specializes in a variety of urogynecological conditions, including pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and some additional bladder and pelvic floor disorders.

 

According to data from Houston Methodist, one in four women have a pelvic floor disorder, with 17% of women suffering from urinary incontinence, making it the most common pelvic floor disorder. As many as 58.2 million women are expected to suffer from a pelvic floor disorder by the year 2050, likely due to longer lifespans and an increase in adult obesity.
